I have never seen the 09 valves. is it something you can take out to see why it is leaking? maybe something you could try to use a different valve for..ive seen people use eclipse valves in rxs and things like that. might work if the valve itself is damaged. like i said i dont know much about the new imp valves. it is a pressure balanced valve i think? gen4 timmies used a balanced valve maybe they could be retrofitted.

if its orings that arent sealing maybe some dow55 to swell them if replacing doesn't help.

tried just putting some gun oil in it? sometimes that will lesson or stop small leaks. not a great permanent fix...

these are all not great ideas sorry just throwing stuff out there. hopefully someone will post up who has more knowledge than me.

have you tried talking to dlx? they were taking 09 imps in trade for luxes saying they wanted to be able to help out people with 09s...i have no idea about what happened but it might be worth a shot.

It's a balanced valve.

When I get a chance I'll post a pic and tear it apart.. see if I cant figure it out.

DLX=GOG at this point.
Trade in is of no use for me since I paid $410 for it AND I am a gog/dlx dealer.

was saying that dlx offered the trade in saying they were going to use what got traded in for parts to fix the 09 imps. at the time they were working on them because there was no Gog. but if they are the same thing now it doesnt help.

My brother-in-laws Impulse has the valve core leak, we found a way to minimize/fix the leak, however we haven't put enough time behind the gun yet to see how long term the fix is, but it works. We applied Plasti-Dip, http://www.plastidip.com, to the valve core. We brushed the Plasti-dip onto the face of the valve core that seals onto the brass valve seat in the Impulse. His valve seat also had some nicks in the brass which we filled with some epoxy. So far the fix has stopped the leaking, just make sure to add some grease to the Plasti-dip to prevent wear. We've put a few days of play behind this fix, and it has held up so far, but if it fails it won't be difficult to redo.

We were originally going to re-machine the valve core and valve seat, but this is a cheap solution that has worked for now.

Japy - That was the purpose of the Plasti-Dip, was to provide a rubber like sealing surface that shouldn't move around. With teflon tape you run the risk of tearing the tape up in the marker and getting it into the valve seat or rammer and causing more leaking issues.

Glad to hear that it is working out for you. We had to reapply the coating once or twice to get the right amount on there so that it was even yet durable. He is still running the spring in his, but it is interesting to know that the 09's poppet can run without a spring.
